    Posted on Tuesday February 3rd, 2009 at 12:48 in diary, hair, blue, pnd

    Around here at the moment there is a craze amongst the local women for bright red hair, it's sort of like a mini competition... the red shades keep getting brighter and brighter and covering more of the hair.... it started off with a few streaks here...

    Well. It had already been a weird week.So I said at the end of my epic last post that Theo had a Speech Therapy appointment all of a sudden - it was a cancellation, so all we had was time and place via Tony's mobile phone...I went to the Children's C...

    Posted on Thursday January 8th, 2009 at 03:47 in diary, counselling, pnd

    After my upset yesterday - I was being quite immature and sniffly for a while! I went on a big search to find something else. I'm the type of person who needs a firm future plan, otherwise I start to feel lost... it's not good.I think having PND make...

    Mimi has a fever today, well it started last night. She's teething and she has a cold and she's feeling really ill, so I'm stuck with her on my knee! I've been feeling lower and lower really, being stuck in the house, now that's being compounded by M...

    ...I'm stuck in the middle with...um.. Me.I was going to pick Theo up from school today, not because my shoulder is better but because I can't stand being inside anymore. Then Tony reminded me that the bus I'd have to catch (I usually walk the 40 min...

  • Brown is Best

    Posted on Wednesday December 10th, 2008 at 06:37 in Chocolate, diary, brown, shoulder, pnd

    I'm distracting myself with some musings on the colour brown. A lot of really great, and really awful things are the colour brown.... Poo is brown, the yucky stuff you hawk up when you have a really bad chest infection is brown, sometimes really bad ...

    Ohhh and I thought I was tired yesterday afternoon! I made lasagne, ran around like a headless chicken, then rushed off to do late night shopping with Tony - we have got presents for everyone now though so that's a relief. I'm exhausted.Tony (the hub...

  • Karma bit my bum.

    Posted on Thursday December 4th, 2008 at 05:05 in diary, karma, pnd

    Firstly I just want to note that my community Psych nurse did not turn up at all yesterday, or call to re-arrange/apologise, yet again. So we wasted a day waiting (we have no direct telephone number for her either.)The double pram broke yesterday aft...

  • Picking up the pieces of the puddle

    Posted on Wednesday December 3rd, 2008 at 03:56 in diary, pnd

    It was freezing again this morning, and we ran the pram over all the puddles which cracked and splintered under the wheels with a lovely crunching sound. Sophia picked a frosty leaf and watched it melt in the sunshine on the way. It would have been l...

    Posted on Monday December 1st, 2008 at 07:45 in pnd

    This week's group gave me a banging headache. I think I might be getting a migraine. I wonder if it's a reaction to the stress of this week's group... There is a lot I could write, I could just pour out a page full of babble, but I am luckily forced ...

    Posted on Sunday November 30th, 2008 at 11:29 in pnd

    Julie my new(ish) support worker advised me to keep a regular diary, so I can look back at things, work out my triggers for feeling awful, and see how far I've come later... I thought this was a great idea, then I spent about three weeks looking for ...
